Photo P1
Habitat where these tracks were made - A marsh outlet stream
in central Connecticut |

Photo P2
From this photo, it appears a small animal has crossed the
stream and left us some tracks on the two sandbars. |
|
|
|
|
Photos P3 & P4 are zoomed in on the two trails across the two sandbars,
respectively. The animal’s stride measures 4 to 5", and its trail width
measures 5". |

Photos P5 – P7 are closeups of the footprints. Note that this animal has
a large difference in size in its feet – the large foot measures 2 1/8"
wide by 1¾" long; the small foot measures 1½" wide by 1" long. Go back
to Photos P3, P4 & P6 and note – very interesting – there is a "vertical
line" drag mark that goes along the centerline of the trail – this
measures 3/8" wide. |
